Chamber Update:

The last couple of months have been challenging but also exciting! In January we started our weekly program called “the chamber.” It is going pretty good. We meet on Wednesdays after school until 5pm. They come and hang out, play pool, ping pong, basketball, or x box. We have a short lesson and food which is always good with teenagers. Our prayer and focus is to get kids to grow more in the Lord and have discipleship with them.

Chamber Ministries recently started having Saturday night activities. We have done open gyms and video games at the youth center. This gives kids a safe venue to spend their Saturday nights. There also will be swimming and movie nights in the upcoming weeks.

On January 16th we had our annual dodge ball tournament. It was a lot of fun, but I think I ended up with a sore arm. We had 6 teams and the winners got medals. I was able to share the Gospel message with the kids who attended.

Also at the end of January we had our fundraiser dinner. It was a good success. There were about 50 people who attended and we were able to raise 580 dollars. Thank you to all who helped with the dinner.

Support:

The support for Chamber Ministries has been down lately. The funds for acitivities are getting low, but we believe the Lord will provide. The Lord has always been good to us. We feel we are doing what he has called us to do. Our family is continually seeking God for his direction and we believe that “God’s work done God’s way, will never lack God’s supply” – Hudson Taylor. Please continue to pray for this ministry, thanks so much to those who faithfully give, you are a real blessing to us.
